When Florida State baseball reliever Peyton Prescott left the mound during Game 3 of the Corvallis Super Regional with an apparent arm injury, suspicion immediately went to the worst-case scenario.
That fear was confirmed on Wednesday when MLB.com reported that Prescott is going to have Tommy John surgery early in July, likely knocking him out of availability for the 2026 FSU season.
The injury came one day after Prescott touched 100 miles per hour with his fastball for the first time in Game 2 of the super regional. In that game, he had four strikeouts over two no-hit innings to record the save in the Seminoles' 3-1 victory over Oregon State.
Prescott finished his first season as a Seminole after transferring in from Jacksonville with a 5.15 ERA over 36.2 innings with 46 strikeouts to 17 walks. He was already a draft-eligible sophomore who could not be back at FSU in 2026 if he's drafted in his desired range in July's MLB Draft. But this injury now casts much greater doubt about Prescott's ability to pitch for FSU in 2026 even if he doesn't sign with a team.
